Play Dirty?

 It's pretty clear that Trump and Republicans just want to win anyway possible, even if it mean disenfranchising America citizens over technicalities.

We saw this behavior back in 2000 in Florida and in the end it turned out to be successful.

In that election they fought over hanging chads while in the one comin up it is going to be about disallowing perfectly good ballots over technicalities.

The one most likely to have some success is challenging signatures.  Most people sign their name, sometimes years ago, when they register, but over time some changes happen.

Usually not significant but all indicators are that Republicans is close states are preparing to challenge as many signatures as they can for voters from certain counties which lean Democratic.  if they were really interested in preventing fraud they wouldn't pick specific counties.

They will of course find ballots to question and some will get thrown out.  They are hoping this might swing a swing state.

It is an assault on democracy.
